here's what ryuzaki_L PMed me about the shop location:
i've been using/carrying it. very very impressive. luv the features, THE GORGEOUS screen, and slim/compact design.

the design was THE deciding factor (for me). It's small, slim, and compact. MUCH MUCH BETTER than Nokia 5800 XM.

i didnt get from the same shop as mnetioned by ryuzaki_L. The shop that i bought got a SAMSUNG lightbox; but also nearby the "Bluetooth" shop.

price is RM1,700. no other xtras. Full package/accessories.

my actual price is RM1,800 (inclusive of merchant interest) because i pay via credit card + 12mth 0% installment.

Not sure if other shops do that, but i chose this shop cuz of 0% installment service
warranty sticker is by Brightstar, but i can go to the nearby Samsung sevice centre for support/warranty.
p/s: personally, i like Jet compared to iPhone. Jet's size is much better to hold/carry than iPhone (much wider). FEatures wise, it meets my need and day-to-day internet 3G usage (surfing, twitter, facebook, sms, photos, videos, etc.)

the photos and videos are gorgeous

@techmostwanted, not cheaper. A bit more expensive because the shop need to charge extra "merchant charges" for credit  card transaction.

for me, phone price is RM1,700. The extra charge is RM100. Total billed: RM1,800 is billed thru Maybank's 0% interst installment payment.

Hence, my monthly repayment only RM150 for 12mths. Which for me, is still "cheaper" than payng one lump sum of RM1,700 cash

@ilovelyn/snowcrash: most shops have actual units hidden. Until you show interest to buy or ask for a working unit, they only let you see the dummy unit,

I saw/hold the dummy unit first at Sunway Pyramid because i was curious to know the look-n-feel-n-weight of the unit.

i didn't have any problem watching video in youtube..any website that i surf works fine..

hey doesnt this thread deserve to be in phone specific sections?
dauf can be Thread opener over there..

nop, it open thru the web browser and the quality is good..

i'm using wifi btw..

Hi Guy,

Which shop that can give you better price for JET? Do u mind to share with us..preferable KL area..

hmmm..last week a sales person from MTA a booth near by Bluetooth booth said to me 1699 with 4gb card...maybe the price varies week by week.
btw...for those who flashed to s8000 firmware...just wondering if it does not have chinese text input in s8000 firware,does it able to read chinese text?thanks.

theres a guy selling for rm1599 in mobile sales..

Went to Samsung Lowyatt yesterday. As mentioned by the salesman, for Samsung phone, there is no AP set. The diff is between FMG and Brightstar. If the guaratee card is from FMG, means that u can go to anywhere Samsung Service Center in Malaysia. Brightstar guaranteed is only covered KL area only. (But i`m not is correct or not..hehehe)

The price at Samsung Lowyatt is RM1799. if u use credit card is 1800. Plus another RM1.

Atlast i got to hold the JET..vERY impressive!!!

This phone looks great. As good as Apple iPhone or better?

@danny_boy #124 :

the software showed in the video is different from Samsung LBS software(navigation software) installed in my JET..

actually any service provider can add nav software in JET bcos it has built in GPS..maxis, celcom or digi dont have any nav software(from what i know), but for example, 02 UK provide their own navigation software for JET*

*extra info..

mine brightstar, but i forgot to mail back the Samsung Electronics Warranty within the 1st 7 days after i bought this phone...huhu..

There are a few drawbacks on this phone and I'm starting to think of getting rid of it unless there's a possibility that Samsung will fix it.

Drawbacks:
1. No fully functional GPS
2. No SMS threading
3. Only able to store 500 sms only.
4. Unable to search for particular song in media player. (Have to scroll manually. If you have 1000+ songs and would like to go to a song starting with "Y", good luck.)

Hi,
Can u please explain further on the point no.2 (No SMS threading)..

So if JET having drawback..should we said Nokia 5800 Express is better?

and it's freaky thin too (compared to normal bar phones, even thinner than my Nokia 5320 XM)

sweet. i can't say anything less about it worth every penny (ermm cents).

How do you think about this phone compare to LG ARENA?

just get a jet today. but very sad finding on the web, no application for it.,, is this so call iphone killer ?

so sad it is not window mobile... very sad. bough it at RM 1599 with 2GB card, bough it at klang parade.

Added on August 16, 2009, 9:45 pmbut i think, 800mhz and 512mb ram and 1.5gb uses space is good tobe RM 1599

but no application update.. nothing to do...so boring.. no challenging at all. and who say no lag, when loading a lot graphic on the web page, u try touch moving the page, then that is lag lag lag..

other than stated above,so far both of them don't have gps navigation that does not need internet connection and both photo browsing is slow. The price of LG is cheaper and has built in 8gb whereas jet is about rm100 more expensive and with only 2gb.

hope it helps...
PS:i never owned both of this phone,points above are summary of other forums and this forums that i remember.

Cool!

Let's see some serious development going! I hope the OS will get some major improvements!

yup, i think the sdk is already available..check the link i posted earlier..there's also discussion board there..
